George R.R. Martin says he doesn't think 'Game of Thrones' is more 'anti-woman' than history
"Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin explained during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con that "House of the Dragon" is based on historical events.
Making Daenerys a 'Mad Queen' on 'Game of Thrones' is the culmination of every demeaning sexist trope over the show's 8 seasons
By turning the final season into a showdown between two "Mad Queens," the HBO drama played directly into the show's history of misogyny.

Games of Thrones’ Star Sean Bean Says Intimacy Coordinators ‘Spoil the Spontaneity,’ Decries Censorship
By K.J. Yossman
“Game of Thrones” actor Sean Bean says intimacy coordinators “spoil the spontaneity” of shooting a sex scene.
“It would inhibit me more because it’s drawing attention to things,” Bean, who played Ned Stark in the hit fantasy show, said of having an intimacy coordinator in the room. “Somebody saying, ‘Do this, put your hands there, while you touch his thing…”
“I think the natural way lovers behave would be ruined by someone bringing it right down to a technical exercise,” he added, comparing his experience to the raunchy 1993 adaptation of “Lady Chatterly’s Lover,” in which he starred opposite Joely Richardson.
“‘Lady Chatterly’ was spontaneous,” Bean said in his interview with the U.K.’s Times Magazine. “It was a joy. We had a good chemistry between us, and we knew what we were doing was unusual. Because she was married, I was married. But we were following the story. We were trying to portray the truth of what DH Lawrence wrote.”
Bean also decried the censorship of his work at the behest of TV companies or advertisers, citing the “Snowpiercer” TV series, in which he currently stars, where he filmed a scene naked alongside Lena Hall. In the bizarre Season 2 scene the duo become intimate with the aid of a mango (as in the fruit). But Bean said “I think they cut a bit out actually. Often the best work you do, where you’re trying to push the boundaries, and the very nature of it is experimental, gets censored when TV companies or the advertisers say it’s so much. It’s a nice scene, quite surreal, dream-like and abstract. And mango-esque.”
When the interviewer pointed out that intimacy coordinators can help to protect actors in the wake of #MeToo, Bean responded: “I suppose it depends on the actress. This one [referring to Hall] had a musical cabaret background, so she was up for anything.”
Hall has starred in Broadway productions of shows including “Kinky Boots,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and “Cats,” among other shows.
In the interview, Bean, who played Boromir in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings franchise, also turned his eye to fan conventions, describing one (unnamed) LOTR convention as “just a cattle market” when he attended as a guest.
“I didn’t like how the organizers treated the fans,” he said, explaining that when he tried to write messages in addition to signing autographs he was cut off by the staff. “They’d say, ‘No, no, just a signature. He needs to pay more for you writing a message.’ And these fans are good-natured, positive people who were getting tossed around and overcharged for things.”
Bean said he would not attend future fan conventions.

Game of Thrones' George R.R. Martin Confirms Estrangement From Original Series in Later Seasons: 'I Was Pretty Much Out of the Loop'
Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin is shedding new, cryptic light on the complicated relationship he had with the original HBO series’ creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. In a new interview with the New York Times, Martin confirms that his behind-the-scenes involvement decreased...
He basically confirmed everything that everyone knew already.
No way,Discovery will get rid of GRRM especially since he's one of the biggest fantasy authors in the world. And,from the looks of it Warner ain't doing so hot now that Discovery owns HBO and Warner Bros now.

George R.R. Martin Has “Given Up” Predicting When He’ll Finish ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’
In a joint conversation with Ryan J. Condal about ‘House of the Dragon,’ the creator of the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe digs deep: “I do find it a little grisly, people speculating online about what’s going to happen to the rest of the books when I die.”
I'm so tired of this dude. He created something great, but it clear he can't finish it now. He's got enough people fighting to make shows off the world he created that I can't even blame him. But to keep on saying he's still working on it after 12 years is just rediculous.George R.R. Martin Has “Given Up” Predicting When He’ll Finish A Song of Ice and Fire

That's no way to address a Khaleesi: The CEO of an Australian television company has apologized after insulting 'Game of Thrones' star Emilia Clarke at a screening for 'House of the Dragon.'
Emilia Clarke Insulted by Foxtel CEO as 'Short, Dumpy Girl' While Speaking at 'House of Dragon' Sydney Premiere
"There was a bit of a gasp," an attendee said of the tasteless remark made by Patrick Delany; Foxtel has issued an apology

I will say this,while GRRM have some fault in the situation;he can't tell two people who never read the books what to do especially when they were out of material. They basically butchered Sansa,Arya and Davos storyline.
I understand,you can't put every detail in a show but the show runners could have tried...imo
With that said,GRRM should have never gave two people who never read the books a chance...
What's crazy is that I never heard of the series until I watched the first episode.
I understand authors need a timeout but doing xyz and neglecting the fans that was there before the show started is ridiculous.
The first four books came out within a decade(1996 to 2005). Then,he released "A Dance With Dragons(2011)",six years after "A Feast For Crows". Now,it's been over a decade since the last book....
I stumbled onto these books in 1999. At that time the first 2 books were published and were already in paperback. The 3rd book came out in 2000. And that's when his popularity really surged. I remember it was a 5 year gap for the 4th book to be published because my twins were born in 2000 and they could read by the time the 4th book came out lol. Then like you said 6 years for Dance with Dragons.What's crazy is that I never heard of the series until I watched the first episode.

I still want to see where some of the storylines that were never in the show end up like young Griff and the mercenary party, the Victorion Greyjoy subplot, and the whatever Dorne is up to. That's the only reason I still care.
The showrunners butchered Sansa and Davos character on the show...imo.. It's criminal what they did to Dorne on the TV show.
I read,a few days ago that GRRM is almost done with the major characters stories...
The further GOT went, the less original material they had from GRRM. I don't think he'll ever finish those books. Besides Larry David, TV writers don't have decades to finish a Season.
